The freshest seasonal produce, uncomplicated clean flavours and classical elegance are the essence of my inspiration and passion for food” Scot Kirton. With impeccable service and an award-winning wine list, La Colombe is a truly unforgettable experience!

La Colombe, one of Cape Town's most well-loved and awarded restaurants, achieved an impressive 12th place in the San Pellegrino 50 Best Restaurants of the World Awards 2010.

Having moved up 26 places and into the hallowed Top 20, this bastion of contemporary French-meets-Asian fine dining thereby also clinched the Acqua Panna Best Restaurant in Africa and Middle East Award.

Winner of both Chef of the Year and Restaurant of the Year in the Prudential Eat Out Awards 2008, and again honoured with the prestigious Restaurant of the Year title in 2009, La Colombe has also achieved the highest three star rating in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 issue of the acclaimed Rossouw’s Restaurants guide.

Scot Kirton was appointed as Executive Chef of La Colombe in September 2010 and has since made his mark at this award-winning restaurant by securing an honourable Top 100 position in the San Pellegrino 100 Best Restaurants of the World Awards 2011.  With only 3 South African restaurants achieving a Top 100 rank in the world in 2011, the recent achievement is a tremendous feat for Scot.  Scot’s philosophy and approach to food lies in the pursuit of excellence and perfection he says, “Every dish can always be improved.

Forget it. What a let down. Went there with friends from overseas last week. There was some sort of farewell going on outside, for interns who had been working in the kitchen. Our waiter told us that the chef was taking part in the celebrations. And it showed. Cold food. A soup that was nearly all pure cream, and inedible. Patchy service. Underwhelming food generally. No sign of any management checking on things. Eye wateringly expensive. What more would you like to know? Embarrassing for me, as I had recommended it. Never again.

Another perfect dinner at La Colombe. The 5 course winter menu was utter perfection. The service was out of this world. Could not find fault in anything. 5 stars is too few!
